The chamber of deputies diOuTned this
evening without taking any action, ana
it is quite probable that nothing will be
done until Monday, i'll order to allay
public feeling. The excitement about
the palace of the Elysee and the cham
Der of deputies was intense early this
afternoon, and increased almost to VIC
lence towards evening. The mob at the
Elysee made no disturbance other than
crying wildly and continuously, RE

ace was
GUARDED BY TROOPS.
The cavalry were forced to charge upon
the crowd at the chamber of deputies
this afternoon and dispense them. The
adiOurning of the deputies this after
noon until e o'clock resulted from con-
ference of the four Republican groups,
who unanimously adopted as an order
of the day that the chamber. awaiting
the communication promised from the
president, adjourn until 6. When the
deputies resumed their sitting at
O'Clock, the hour appointed at the first
adjournment, the order was acclaimed
by both the Left and Center and was
carried by a vote of 531 against 3.
Premier Rouvier returned to the Elysee
and Informed President Grevy of the
vote 1t is reported that when NJ
Grevy heard that the deputies had sus-
pended the sitting in order to receive
the message to-day, he replied that his
ministry, having resigned, they could
not be charged with any communication
to the chamber. Some of the deputies
were III favor of impeaching NJ. Grevy
if his resignation was not announced at
the resumption of the sitting. NJ. Rou-
vier has freely expressed the opinion
that the president will only resign upon
strong pressure, or

being made against him by the cham

resumed the sitting at 6 80, NJ. Rouvier

that he had communicated the vote of

PROTESTING WOMAN"

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Your protesting woman got down to a
solid lucid statement when she reached the
next to last assertion, IF Christian women
would do more efficient service there would
be less need of laws against liquor traffic. p"
And yet l have known the most devoted
women of earth to raise boys whose lives
were wild, vicious, silly and stupid. Would
even a woman dare to tell every young or
middle aged man who sucks SO Justify at
cigars, cigarettes and cob pipes and carries q
key to the back door of joint that his moth
er was at fault for his wickednes or weak
ness. There would scarce be MICROSCOPE
cal trace of truth in the assertion if she did
The coarsest women in all the land are in
an agony of anxiety and fear on account of
the proneness of their boys to fall into the
follies of life before they learn the idiotic
evil of gross and wicked habits.
How much more of morals are included
in prohibition than in horse stealing, arson,
SANDER. lying, perjury and in fact the
whole dialogue?
Morals are manners. Our whole lives
are composed of evil and good and these in
their entirety constitute morals. A break
of morals that becomes detrimental NUS
ance is soon declared unlawful and an
adequate penalty attached thereto. Every
one admits that horse stealing is an insig-
nifcent evil as compared to liquor drinking
for pleasure. Yet the law has nearly rem
dered this former pastime obsolete. Dear
sister, do remember that the great mass Of
women are intensely anxious to do right, to
be correct, religious, refined, loving and
lovable. Don't forget that either good or
evil intellect or ignorance are peculiar to
either sex, They are diversified attributes
of the whole race.

AS A FINANCIAL CENTER.

The time was when every bank in Kan
sas considered it indispensable to keep a
large balance in the banks OF Kansas City.
1t became kind of clearing house fol-. the
entire state So far as southwestern Kan
sas is concerned, that very pleasing office
of our accomE;gia. .:.~ brethren across the
Mi-st border is h.-ii..g rapidly trans
ferred to Wichita, where it rightfully be-
longs.
Nearly all the lanKs to the south and
west of us are now clearing their Kansas
and other western items through the banks
of this city. The recent published state
ments of four of our largest banks show
that the balances held by them for banks
and bankers of the interior towns has
reached figure truly gratifying, and they
are rapidly increasing.
Some of our bankers, not less vigilant
than are our wholesale merchants and
manufacturers in pushing their business
into surrounding cities, are forming con-
nections which will unite, by the strongest
ties, the financial and commercial interests
of our bright and growing cities of the
west to those of Wichita.
Only few months ago Col. Il. w.
Lewis, president of the Kansas National
bank of this city, in connection with some
of the wealthiest men of Kingman, organ
lied the Kingman National bank. of
which he holds the vice-presidercy. The
stock of this bank is now worth s.. 40, and
it is one of the strongest in the southwest.
This week. again, Col. Lewis went to the
booming little city of Pratt, and in COM
pany with a number of the leading cin-
zens of that place and some capitalists of
Wichita and the east, organized the First
National bank of Pratt, of which he was
elected president. A number Of others
will soon follow. all going to strengthen
the bonds of mutual interest between the
little giant cities of the interior and the
magical metropolis of the southwestern

THE NEW DRUG LAW

Senator Sol. Miller, who during the
winter made desperate attempt to keep in
line with the radicals in the senate, even TO
the extent of voting for the metropolitan
police bill, the jury commissioner law, and
other odious legislation, in his paper, the
Troy Chief, thus SPEAKS of the new drug
law which will shortly take effect in this
state:
"If we were going to advise honest drug
gists, who are trying to do a legitimate bust,
ness. our advice would be not to take out a
permit to sell liquors, and not keep any to
sell. Under the new law, an honest drug
gist has to humiliate himself. and to cringe
and beg like one seeking pardon from the
penitentiary. He must be registered
pharmacist, and if he has any clerks, they
must also be registered pharmacists, or they
cannot sell liquor, while they might sell
ANYTHING else in the store. He must present
q petition signed by at least twenty five
male householders and twenty-five reputa-
bile women over twenty-one years of age.
The men need not be reputable. but the
women must be. He must go around So
Letting women to sign his petition to sell
liquor, must ask only reputable women;
and after be has them, the probate judge
can pass ON their respectahility.
These petitioners must certify that he Is
a registered pharmacist of good reputation,
not in the habit of using liquor. and that
his store contains goods of "a certain value.
exclusive of liquors. If the petitioners
sign petition containing false statements
they are liable to punishment. as is the pro-
bate Judge if he makes mistake. Every

druggist must administer the oath in full
view of the front door Any person want
ing liquor must identify himself, or die for
the want Of it, as the druggist forfeits MS
permit By selling to bin. A small number
of persons having spite against druggist
may enter complaint against him before the
probate Judge, who shall drag him up To
answer tie charge, and perhaps revoke his
permit. if he thinks best.
The druggist may appeal to the district.
but his permit is void until the court rend-
ers its decision Or, some malicious sneak
may 90 before the grand jusy and have the
druggist indicted, and he is put to the ex-
pense Of defending himself. The county

fiscated. They are regarded as criminals,
and q burden of proof is thrown upon

THE EAGLE DON'T HAVE TO.

In these DAYS of general real estate flights
the scream of the Wichita EAGLE is not
heard in the land Has the Arkansas val

Times.
The EAGLE is the EAGLE, The EAGLE
is unique and original or it is nothing. The
EAGLE happens to be honored with the
hatch of the boom which is now spreading
itself over the average Kansas town like
the light of a new day. The editors who
in stimulating their new found treasure
and using the EAGLES ideas. expressions
and very words. no doubt would deny this,
but it is just as true as the other fact that
the EAGLE started the railway building
which preceded and made possible all
later local booms.
But, the EAGLE is not an imitator, not
even of itself The EAGLE abhors pro-
cession, detests an excursion. especially if
it be cheap dead head kind, and therefore
it will always be found padding its own
canoe, alone and in its own way, yet lead
ing the regetta often SO far rs to be consid-
cred no part of it.
Now word with our esteemed cotem-
porary the Times: There are booms and
booms. One sort flashes in the pan, sooner
or later. is a mere evanescent imitation, an
ephemeral, whose residue is bitter when
there is enough of it to leave anything.
But there is boom whose texture is solid
material and which analyses into prosper
ity. into wealth, into gold. That was the
K ind Of boom Matched by the EAGLE for
Wichita and it has crystalized beyond
destruction from anybody's lightning. Its
a boom that no longer needs booming for
it booms itself Ours is boom which
renders it impossible to house and
feed the crowds of people who are coming
daily, boom the resultant building con-

that il will be impossible to secure sufficient
material to fill them all this year.

WICHITA'S BOOMING.

Written for the Daily Eagle.
The morning sun was rising fast,
As through Wichita City passed
A youth who bore banner bright,
And these well known words shown in the
light;
"Wichita's Booming"
His eye did CLEAN, his brow was fair.
Tes wind blew through his raven hair;
And as be passed along ne sung
A ditty in the well known tongue:
''Wichita's Booming
He saw the Real Estates with gall 50 raw.
In the streets and alleys of West Wichita
He gazed at College Hill so bleak,
And from his lips escaped shout;
'sWichita's Booming"
Try not Wichita street, and old man said,
Twas railroad men were there found dead
The mud is deep, the street is wide,
But loud that clarion voice replied;
"Wichita's Booming"
"Oh, STAY his best girl cried, land take
A cup Of coffee and some hot beafsteak."
A tear from his eve on his waistcOat fell;
And from his lips escaped a yell;
''Wichita's Booming"
By eight o'clock movement great,
Was going on in real estate.
The brokers uttered a fervent prayer,
A voice rang out on the startled air:
''Wichitas Booming"
A traveller with a smile profound,
In the Arkansas Valley Bank was found.
A pile of greenbacks beside him lay,
And softly he was heard to say.
"Wichita's Booming"
And thus it is when from the towers,
The clocks toll out the midnight hour:
That from the skys serene and fir,
A voice falls like a falling star;
"Wichita's Booming"
And when the night has passed away,
And the bright sun takes its sway,
Mid hustle and roar and escape of steam,
The Daily EAGLE makes a scream;
"Wichitas Booming"

THE COUGAR LEGISLATURE.

Helen n. Cougar in an interview in the
Indianapolis journal ciai..::ss s tSa credit of
running our late legislature into the munic-
ipal suffrage scheme whereby a Kansas
woman. if she happens to live 10 image,
can vote, but If she lives ten rods away on
a Kansas farm may run for county super
intendent herself but cant vote for any
other woman for that position. Mrs. Gou-
gar not only claims the credit OF running
the Kansas legislature. but she says some
things which we know that she knew
were false when she said them. II she said
them. Among other things the Journal
reports her as saying that Finally the en-
tire Republican press of the state gave its
support to the measure" We suppose by
such talk and attitudes she expects to i'm
press Indiana with her greatness to the end
that she may hang another state to her
wampum belt.
Mrs. Cougar thinks herself very cute and
solid but we venture the guess that II all
the women of the United States were built
like her there couldn't be found single
man in the entire country at the expiration
of a fortnight, if we should except a few
long haired old impotents who, because
they are entitled to wear breeches, think
they are men, but who could only be util-
lied as such in some eastern gentleman's
harem as general roustabout.

don't believe that her circular will upset

profoundest sympathies as is every husband

You may rest assured that every un,
